are way too frickin rare!


I spent my entire weekend doing destroy missions and gathering money to make the best meds possible. Spent hours on Lok and Datooine farming berries and wheat. Talus Water, etc. Blew so much cash traveling planets to find out there is 0 Dolovite Iron and 0 Class 4 fuels....BLEH!


On a brighter note I took my pistol points and re-arranged them so I could also be a novice BH and now have a Rancor. So screw meds, I have a rancor!

i just hope all the rancors get hit big with the 2x4. if anything destroys PvE and PvP right now, it's those overpowered CH Pets that are way to easy and to fast to get. They should be the exception, not a comon sight.

This sucks We keep losing combat medics, medics and doctors because of mutant components and factory made items.


This time to jet fuel and a 70s pimp.


DEVS: I Hope you're reading this ...because this is happening quite a bit.

well it was said quite clearly that not all resources will be available at all times, especialy the very specific ones. It's the way the system works and either you try to work with it and see if you learn to like it or you go do something else.


Medics in SWG are not the Magic Healer from other MMORPG's. The more effort you take into not only learning how to heal but how to make the best medicines (or who sells the best medicines) all factor in howgood you are as a Medic. No-one forces you to craft. You can always buy meds from those that are selling them.

Well, I take my time with my meds. Im getting over 1000 healing with my Stim C's because I use the best components I can find and experiement my way through each component. The average healing on Stim C's in the bazaar I have seen is 148, mine are nearly 400.So buying Stim's isnt an option for me right now. Thats not even with using Advanced Chemical Controllers because I cant find the Class 4 fuel anywhere. When in a fight, I prefer to be healing for large numbers then lame 300's. As of last nght, still no Dolovite Iron or Petro 4 fuels.

You people have to stop complaining that you cant always get the materials you need to make advanced components 24/7. I dont think they were made that way...Advanced components are just that advanced and therefore need certain rare resources in order to craft. I kind of laugh at those medical professionals that think that they should be able to constantly churn out advanced parts. If this was possible then there would be nothing special about them. The advanced components are like the top of the line for medicines. There are many artisans that currently cannot make their best weapons, clothes, armor and droids because they miss a certain resource...We are no different.


Also having rare resources like this will seperate those that dont care and those that do care to put in the extra time to travel all over to find advanced comp resources...I think its actually brilliant that they did it like this...frustrating? yes...bad? no

Elenora, I agree to an extent. However, I have been looking for Iron and Class 4 fuels for a week now with none found, none on the bazaar and every person on my server whos into healing at higher levels also hasnt found any. I understand rare and agree it should be....but none in a weeks too rare IMO. I spend about 3 times a night 15 minutes on the bazaar terminals searching every Liquid fuel and every iron sale to see if its Dolovite or class 4...none yet. Id like to see them up the rate on both these items a little bit so every few days it pops up. I have spent about 50K in traveling alone to try and find these items this week and got nothing back for it. Rare? I agree Non-existant? Disagree

The problem that I have with the advanced required resources are the quality of soem of teh requiredresources I have found. If the resource is a required resource for an advanced componet, then it shoudl be required because it is the highest quality resource of that type.


Example, I have the required Electon Reavtive Gas for advanced infection amplifiers. the gas is a high quality gas, 600+. The required titanium aluminium is also available on two planets. The current titanium Alum available is quality 58. the aluminium that I have already is quality 800+ I can make a betterregular infection amplifier, then I can make an advanced infection amplifier. The normal infection amplifier that I make, creates a better poison pack, thne I get using the crappy advanced infection amplifier that I can make with the low quality requiredresource.


A lot of the required resources to make advanced componets that I have found are very low quality. Now maybe if I use all three advanced componets my final product will be vastly superior to teh ones I am making from the normal compnets using high quality resources, I will not know until I can locate all teh required resources tho...

there are high and low quality versions of the resources in the database. to get the high quality versions it will take some resource cycles. in beta we had 700OQ Beries on Datooine one week and 200OQ the next.


OQ58 Titanium Aluminium will of course produce crappy results. but with Titanium Quality >500 you should see a noticable difference compared to basic subcomponents. One Galaxy currently even has a 999OQ T.A. version, i wish it was mine ,(


and looking daily on the bazaar for things that have not spawned yetdoes not make sense. the intended cycle period is ~6 days. so checking once a week if the resource has spawned and the quality is usable should be sufficient. and than still, it will take a lot of time if ever for that resource to be placed on the bazaar ,)
